Ingredients

  • 1 16-ounce loaf Italian or French bread
  • 8 tablespoons unsalted butter softened
  • 3-4 cloves garlic minced or pressed
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped
  • 2 tablespoons grated parmesan or grana padano
  • 1 tablespoon white truffle oil

Instructions

  • PREP: Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 375ºF. Slice the bread in half lengthwise, making sure both portions are roughly the same size.
  • GARLIC BUTTER: In a bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, salt, garlic powder, parsley, parmesan, and white truffle oil. I like to use a fork to really mash the ingredients into the butter.
  • SPREAD: Divide the butter mixture into two and spread on the two halves of the loaf. Place the loaves on a rimmed baking sheet. You can bake this right away or refrigerate it until you’re ready to bake.
  • BAKE: Place the bread in the oven and bake for 11-15 minutes or until golden brown and cooked to your liking. If you bake from the fridge, the garlic bread may take a few minutes longer to brown! Slice and serve warm.
